His dream was to end the slave trade in Africa and establish Christianity and lawful commerce on the continent---a dream that was finally realized after his death. Explore the inspiring life of this courageous Scottish missionary and doctor who believed that "the salvation of men ought to be the chief desire and aim of every Christian." Grades 8 to 12. 129 pages, softcover.

Based upon Livingstone's actual journal, this book provides a fair treatment of this godly man and his life, unlike many others of his modern biographies. I found it to be very readable and inspiring in my own Christian life - to trust God more and to be ever so thankful for these great saints who have gone before us, "blazing a trail," so to speak, which was a physical trail as well, in the case of Livingstone trekking through Africa, with hardships reminiscent of the Apostle Paul. If it hadn't been for this man's courage and trust in Christ, he never would have had the fortitude to make it through all the dangers and trials in seeing Africa opened for Christ. Praise be to God!

I am sure that David Livingstone was a very interesting man, but this book does not reflect that. I was disappointed to see that someone who was a missionary and explorer in Africa could have his tale told in such a dry format.
